a 17x8 ET20 is never going to fit without way undersized tires and copious amounts of rubbing. even a 7.5" wheel, ET20 doesn't really work. what you have there with 16x7.5 and ET35 is pretty much perfect!

Here's my ix, 16x7.5 et 35 with out flares my fronts a flush but the back needs to come out about 10-15mm to match the front. Everything clears and never rubs.
I'm trying to get a set of style 5's to fit there 17x8 et20. The back fits perfect but the fronts hit the calipers and sticks out past the fender a little bit so there's not really even room for spacers. With some customization i believe it can work though.

Way too tall, and the offset is too low. Even a 205/50 will rub with stock suspension at et20. Even with trimming, there's little hope of making them fit properly. The max for a 7" wheel is about et25, and that barely clears with stock size tires and rear fender trimming & rolling.

Wondering if I 16x7 eta20 with 215/55/16 fit on a IX with stock suspension? If not what tire would work? I'm whiling to go a little trimming and fender rolling.
Thanks

+1 ^. Spacers are just gonna push those out further. It's actually a pretty close fit to my Alpinas.....the tire size nando suggested might make them doable.

215/40 is the most common size in 17" that's close to stock OD. that should work fine on a 8" wide wheel and give you a bit more wiggle room for offsets.
note that any 7.5" or wider fitment basically assumes you've trimmed and rolled the rear flares/fender lips.

For an iX, an an 8 inch wheel needs a 30-33 mm offset or so (I'm sure Nando willl chime in). As for tires I suppose you could do a 225, but my guess is that 215's are more likely to be available.
